MY 101 THINGS TO DO IN 1001 DAYS

The Mission:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).

Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple goals such as New Year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.

Some common goal setting tips:
1. Be decisive. Know exactly what you want, why you want it, and how you plan to achieve it.
2. Stay Focused. Any goal requires sustained focus from beginning to end. Constantly evaluate your progress.
3. Welcome Failure. Frequently, very little is learned from a venture that did not experience failure in some form. Failure presents the opportunity to learn and makes the success more worthy.
4. Write down your goals. It clarifies your thinking and reinforces your commitment.
5. Keep your goals in sight. Review them frequently, and ensure that they are always at the forefront of your thinking

the color BLUE...

BLUE

Blue is the color loved by me and you,

I have my definition and so do you.

Blue signifies life and so you all say,

I think it defines death, is that okay?

You might question me why I think that way,

It’s the reason sadness won’t go away.

Blue is the color of my eyes at night,

The reason why I’m still standing to fight.

Blue is the inspiration I turn to,

My reason for living and breathing too.

Blue is the color of the vast deep sea,

The sea of grief that surrounds you and me.

Blue is the feeling of melancholy,

It’s the look on my face, do you not see?

Blue drives me crazy and somewhat insane,

When I look at it all I see is flame.

It’s the flame that killed my loved ones in life,

The reason why I feel BLUE all the time.

This is my meaning; I’m sticking to it,

Call me crazy, I do not care one bit.

As I end this personal poem of mine,

Don’t you dare judge me, leave me I’m fine..

**it's what i'm feeling lately.. the muses just won't stop bugging me, so instead of studying for our prelims for accounting, i came up with this.. it's really nothing.. just feeling lonely and sad for the nth time.. it's beacuse it's January.. and the 3rd year..:((

year 2008... Best and Worst..

well.. bored lang ako.. i decided to recall the year 2008 and what happened..

the BEST part?

--joining TIGER DRAGONS ROWING CREW.. i got to have a sport and have fun at the same time.. hehe=D di ko naisip na i would be loving sports.. and also have fun doing it.. di kasi ako sporty eh.. ang na-eenjoy ko lang dati si Badminton.. at ang sinasalihan ko lang ay Tug-of-war.. pero ngayon, i have rowing as a sport.. haha..:D at least di na ako lampa.. haha.. and also i got to meet lots of new friends.. and people.. haha.. hopefully, tuloy tuloy lang ang sport na ito.. at di ako magsawa.. right now? I'M LOVING IT.. =D and I love my teammates..hehe..

--higher grades...:D ewan ko if this is because of having a sport.. pero my grades got higher eversince i joined TDRC.. or is it because the lessons are just easier? haha.. i'm motivated when i'm busy and if i have lots of things to do.. therefore, i do better under PRESSURE.. haha,,

--i can cook well.. haha.. dati wala lang.. eggs, hotdogs.. simple stuffs, ngayon adobo, porrk chop, etc.. haha.. basta better.. kasi nawalan ng katulong.. kaya have to do the cooking..

--i decided to sell something(Tamagotchi) and i did well.. daming benta.. haha.. :D

--Lots of penpals.. :D found a site that you can have lots of penpals around the world.. so far i have 8.. haha.. from Poland, FInland(3), Malaysia, Holland, England and Switzerland.. I LOVE receiving letters.. and i'm finally glad to have penpals.. i wish i learned about the site earlier..

--visited TAAL VOLCANO..:D i'm with the teachers from China.. haha.. free trip.. so much fun.. horseback riding paakyat.. and we can actually see the crater.. and we touched one of its mini craters!!:D haha.. tapos akala ng mga guide don na di ako marunong magtagalog.. haha.. kasama ko kasi hindi marunong..

--a party for my 18th birthday.. it was held at summer camp.. but that's better than having none,, pinaiyak pa ako ni kenneth at lance bago nung surprise.. haha.. at may drama pa ni alexis at justin.. pero masaya..:D i was totally surprised,,,:D thanks for the cupcakes.. and sa magic candles.. buti na lang at natunaw.. haha.. kundi andaming candles nun!!:P

--1st ever race at Punta Fuego!! super fun.. haha..:D

WORST part..?

--can't remember.. haha.. there are of course, but i choose to turn them as learning experiences instead of thinking them as the worst part of my life.. haha..
